That Omnibus placement was my doing, by the way. The story's former placement, between ASM #399-400, didn't make sense to me: Ben Reilly first introduces himself to MJ, and unmasks in front of her, at the end of ASM #400. Later, at the end of Spectacular #226, Ben is "revealed" to be the original Pe...

Deadpool's chronology claims that he appears in DA/UX:UTOPIA. I've read the issue and don't see him. Does anyone know why he's listed as appearing? (Also -- we have him appearing in UTOPIA between DP4 #14-15. IIRC he's lost at sea during that time, and doesn't get back to land until midway through #...

Oh, I see. You slot comics that are cover-dated "winter" in between comics cover-dated "January" and "February", and so on -- and you want to know if that's right in terms of those books' real-world publishing order.

Why would the existence of a future for Dimension-616 mean that alternate dimensions also exist? A future is "straight ahead" on a metaphorical time line -- alternate presents would be other lines, running on either side of it. One doesn't really have anything to do with the other. Was it a plot poi...

Thanks, Don. I saw that "other night" reference in #23 too, and it seems like we had the same thought about it: it's flexible. If #23 had claimed that #22 was " last night," I would have discussed it in my post for sure -- but I feel "the other night" is loose enough to allow the miniseries to occur...

Right now, we have the first "X-Men & Alpha Flight" miniseries between Alpha Flight #21-22. I think it should actually go between #22-23. For Aurora, #22 seems to flow directly from #20-21. Issue #21 ends with Aurora in a purple bathing suit, with Sasquatch. She's not in her "Jeanne-Marie" persona b...
